Ten years ago, the billionaire Alpha’s people threw a dollar bill at my feet and chased me away pregnant.
Now, he’s my daughter’s new headmaster.
And the worst part? He has absolutely no memory of who I am.
JESSA
Marcus Steele. Billionaire Alpha. The man who shattered my world.
When I tried to tell him about our baby, I was humiliated and banished from his territory like trash.
I survived. I raised our daughter alone.
When my car breaks down in a violent storm, the towering Alpha who steps out of the shadows to rescue me is him.
I flash a fake wedding ring to keep his predatory gaze at bay. But when a lethal poison targets my daughter, Marcus forces us into his heavily guarded mansion.
Under his roof, every scorching touch threatens to melt my defenses.
I must stay strong.
If this ruthless Alpha realizes the ten-year-old girl down the hall is his blood... he’ll never let us leave.
MARCUS
I gave up my Alpha title to raise my orphaned niece. I don’t do mates.
Then I find Jessa stranded in the rain.
She’s a fragile human, fiercely defensive, and wearing another man’s ring—yet my dormant wolf is roaring that she is ours.
I crave her. I want to rip that fake ring off her finger and claim her.
Then I see the birthmark on her daughter’s neck.
My bloodline’s mark.
The realization hits me like a lethal blow.
She suffered alone for ten years, thinking she could hide my pup from me. She thought wrong.
I failed them once. Never again.
I will tear the world apart to protect what is mine—and I am never letting them go.
